The EventLog library aims to be a replacement of the simple syslog() API
provided on UNIX systems. The major difference between EventLog and syslog
is that EventLog tries to add structure to messages.
Where you had a simple non-structrured string in syslog() you have a
combination of description and tag/value pairs.
EventLog provides an interface to build, format and output an event record.
The exact format and output method can be customized by the administrator
via a configuration file.
Installation
------------
Installing this library is quite straightforward as it does not depend on
anything but libc.
First grab your copy of the library. It is a tarball named
eventlog-x.x.x.x.tar.gz where x.x.x.x is the library revision.
tar xvfz eventlog-x.x.x.x.tar.gz
cd eventlog-x.x.x.x
./configure
make && make install
If you want to package the library or move the binaries to another system,
you can use the DESTDIR argument to 'make install' like this:
make DESTDIR=/tmp/staging install
which will use the /tmp/staging directory as root and copy all files beneath
as it were a real system.
Copyright
---------
EventLog is distributed under the terms of a BSD style license, for details
see the file COPYING.
